Oregon State University TRIGA Reactor (OSTR)

Docket No. 50-243, License No. R-106 In accordance with section 6.7.1 of the OSTR Technical Specifications, we are hereby submitting the Oregon State University Radiation Center and OSTR Annual Report for the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009.

The Annual Report continues the pattern established over the past few years by including information about the entire Radiation Center rather than concentrating primarily on the reactor. Because this report addresses a number of different interests, it is rather lengthy, but we have incorporated a short executive summary which highlights the Center's activities and accomplishments over the past year.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

From Table V.10 it is concluded that the doses recorded by the dosimeters on the TRIGA facility fence can be attributed to natural back-ground radiation, which is about 110 mrem per year for Oregon (Refs. 1, 2).
